"Please sit," Bryan said after the long stare had been concluded and he had returned to his senses. He returned his gaze to his laptop while Sasha walked toward the seat.She took her seat but didn't stop smiling at him so foolishly."I received your message."Bryan cleared his throat aloud and then shut his laptop. He decided not to look at her the way he had just done again."I need more information. How can I get into the Mercidi family? I don't care if I have to risk my life or whatever it takes. I need to get closer to anyone of them." Bryan wasn't ready to let Sasha know his reasons. He couldn't trust anyone, especially Sasha."You look even more desperate, what's wrong." Sasha leaned closer to the desk separating them and stared deeply into his eyes."I told you before Bryan, no hiding things. If you decide to hide anything, then I'm gonna back out.""I'm not hiding anything. As you said, I'm willing to protect my family no matter what it takes."It was obvious to Sasha that Br
Talia took her gaze away from Nathan when he was coming closer to them. He had Kristen in his arms as he was coming."Hey." Nathan was the first to greet her, but then Talia didn't respond to him. She only kept staring away pretending like she didn't see him."Aunty, don't you see uncle?" Kristen interrupted."Aunty doesn't feel like talking to me buddy," Nathan said, feigning sadness.Kristen outstretched his hand towards Talia, "Aunty, what's wrong? Why won't you talk to, Uncle?" Talia had no other choice than to spare Nathan a glance. "Baby, this is an adult issue, why don't you go play with your siblings so Uncle and I can have a word."Kristen turned his gaze to Nathan, and he immediately put the little guy down. Before the little guy ran away, Nathan brought out his palm for a high five."Thank you, buddy, I owe you one." He said which made Kristen smile, giving Nathan his palm as he nodded his head. "Good job," Nathan said watching him run along to his siblings. Now it was tim
A red car halted, and two men immediately ran to the back seat to open the door. Leo stepped out from the car, and at the other side, Micheal stepped down as well. Leo was wearing a black glass and he was dressed in a black luxurious suit.He began to walk in while Micheal and the other two men followed behind.Leo headed straight for his dad's study room, and once he got in, he knocked on the door twice before opening it and stepping in."Dad." He called.Mr. Mercidi turned to stare at his son, but he was simply shocked at Leo's new look. He had almost mistaken Leo for Levi, and that had never happened before. For a second, he was shocked as well as impressed but he didn't make it too obvious to Leo."Where have you been? I sent for you yesterday, but you never showed up.""I had something urgent to attend to dad, I'm sorry."Leo lowered his head. He couldn't raise suspicion and make his dad think he was planning something so big already. When Mr. Mercidi noticed the strange men stan
Talia was in a bar all alone. She planned to drink tonight and forget all about Nathan as best as she could.Even the bar had memories of him because that's how they first had their one-night stand."Fuck!!" Talia cursed, dropping the mini glass on the counter so hard that it made the bartender shiver as he stared at her. There was so much anger in her eyes and he could see it."Can I get one more?"Talia pouted her lips, hoping that he would give her. She already had enough but didn't want to stop. It was better to keep on drinking even though it wasn't working at all. She couldn't stop thinking about Nathan, but she still wanted more to drink."Maybe you should take it easy on yourself." The bartender said, but Talia was going to ignore him completely. Her life was a mess already, at least that was what she thought. First, it was Andrew, then James, and then Jackson, and now it was Nathan.Her frail heart always falls so madly in love quickly and in the end, she always ends up hurt
"Talia…… Talia. Where the hell are you, Talia." Nathan yelled as he ran into the bar. He had been there about 2 minutes ago and ran outside to go search for her.He walked to the bartender."Where is she?""Who are you talking about?" The man questioned ignorantly. Nathan grunted in annoyance. He was in no mood for plays and jokes because he needed an answer right away."The lady who was here about ten minutes ago.""She left.""Fuck."Nathan was certain that Talia's phone had been tracked here. How could she leave so fast? He brought out his phone from his pocket in a hurry and called a number."Keep tracking the phone. Where is she now?""No! No, I can't find her. Her device went off about 5 minutes ago so it's impossible to keep track of her. Did you find her?"Damn it man, would I be asking you to track her damn cellphone if I found her? Fuck!! I'm so gonna kill anyone who lays a finger on her." Nathan placed his left hand on his forehead. He was about to go insane with worry."Ta
Bryan broke the kiss, cupping her face with his palm. "I won't ever leave you again, Taylor, I swear to you."Taylor giggled in return. "You've told me that countless times, Bryan." She brought her face closer to his and touched his forehead with hers. "And I believe you. I want us to grow old together, love each other, have more kids, and take good care of them together. I'm gonna love you forever Bryan." Taylor said.Bryan held her hands, controlling himself from kissing her in his office again."Shall we?"Taylor smiled and nodded her head. "Thank you for being a gentleman baby." She said and chuckled.Bryan also chuckled and began to walk behind her. He shut the office door and they continued walking away till they got outside, and got into the limo that was waiting.Bryan didn't let go of Taylor's hand. He continued to hold on to it till the car halted right in front of the hotel that he had earlier booked.The door was opened and they both stepped down. Bryan walked to the other
Nathan finally got back home. He had to take the fastest means back home. It was almost 5 am in the morning. He headed straight for his mansion to go look for Sebastian because he had called him earlier to wait at the mansion.When Bryan got to this mansion, Sebastian was waiting outside for him.Nathan didn't really notice anything strange in Sebastian, especially the fact that he had little bruises around his body because he had been hurt a little when he was kidnapped."What's happening?""I have no idea, Sebastian. Where the hell is Leo?""I haven't laid my eyes on him since you left, and so I have no idea what he's been up to.""What about Kiara? I fucking got to find Talia, Sebastian. I can't let them touch even a single strand of her hair. Get ready, we need to start the plan immediately. Once it works, I'll leave immediately with Talia."Nathan turned around to leave, but he halted. He was deeply worried about Sebastian too."Sebastian." He called."If I leave, I'm giving you
Sebastian halted the car right in front of Leo's mansion and stepped down from it. Nathan did the same thing, but he didn't wait for Sebastian. He began to walk into the house, ignoring Leo's men who were standing armed.No one would dare to stop him because they all knew how fierce Nathan could be when he gets really angry.He continued to walk till he got into the house.It was empty. Leo wasn't at home.Because Nathan had absolutely no idea what the son of a fucking bastard was planning, he decided to wait for him instead."Sebastian, let's wait." He said."I'll call him right now." Sebastian replied.Nathan didn't give a reply, but Sebastian knew his silence meant he probably should go ahead and do whatever he wanted to do.Sebastian took a few steps away, tucking his hand into his pocket, he brought out his phone. Sebastian's heart had not stopped beating the entire time they were heading to Leo's house.Mysteriously, Sebastian had never felt this way all his life. It felt like s
